The practitioner can now only suspend contracts, and if he/she wishes to entirely, partially or conditionally cancel contracts, court permission is required. This change represents a dilution of the USA Chapter 11 principle originally contained in draft legislation.

Section 138: Qualifications of practitioners: First, the originally proposed regulator of business rescue practitioners is now replaced by the Commission. Second, a business rescue practitioner must be either a member in good standing of a legal, accounting or business management profession accredited by the Commission, or has been licensed as such by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.
